Everybody has heard the verb to cry, but there are many more ways to express your sadness than just crying.
To sob means to cry with falling tears and gasping. Example: I woke up to the sound of my brother sobbing.
To shed a tear means that one teardrop has fallen down your cheek. To shed tears could mean several tears have fallen. Likewise, tears can roll down your cheek, or a stream of tears could be flowing down your cheek.
If tears flood your eyes, it means they are in your eyes, but haven't fallen. My eyes welled up with tears means exactly the same thing.
You can be teary-eyed and misty-eyed, which means your close to crying.
A tearjerker is a very sad movie.
However, if you want to appear strong, you can choke back the tears, which means you prevent yourself from crying.
Once you've finished crying, your eyes may be puffy or swollen.
So, have some ice cream and take a bath.
This too will pass. ^^
